Filipino beans, hand-roasted in Battersea. The sourcing story and the espresso share the same kitchen.

The beans are Filipino, the roasting is done here, and neither is a pose.

What we love

  • Hand-roasts Filipino-origin beans in-house, on the same premises you're drinking from
  • Kapihan is a Tagalog word for a coffee gathering place, which is the concept not just the name
  • Filipino food alongside the coffee, so the cultural brief runs beyond the cup

Nostos Coffee★★★ Purist

Nostos invented the freeze-distilled flat white. Order the Diego: pistachio and cardamom, named-lot single origin, and a preparation technique that exists nowhere else in London.

Kapihan★★ Specialty

The Barako heirloom espresso is the draw. A Philippine coffee varietal built into a programme that treats sourcing as a cultural position, not a marketing line.

District★★ Specialty

The guest roaster changes monthly in a Battersea brunch room that doesn't need to care this much about coffee. It does anyway.
